License tagging for File:Nuggehalli temple.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Nuggehalli temple.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 02:05, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Quietvillager. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 18:44, 16 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there! I've significantly trimmed the submission, and subsequently accepted it. The main issue had to do with using primary sources as references for original research. If you're creating an encyclopaedic research section for an article, for instance one that summarises current or past trends, you need to use sources that are 1) independent of the subject; and 2) secondary or above; otherwise the pertinent section will be deemed original research, as in fact you're not providing verifiable evidence for your statements. Please do not continue editing it if you have a conflict of interest by being associated with Lowy in any manner. I'd also recommend you familiarise yourself with Wikipedia's ways by following our tutorial. Regards, FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 14:09, 17 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
